This place is 100% authentic and great Vietnamese food. Even my daughter ate the food and she isn't a seafood lover. It's a family owned restaurant and was very nice to us. You have to try this place, it's a must stop

Snails with mango salad
Bobbi T.

We haven't had the best luck with asian food in the Orlando area in the past so our set our expectations pretty low when we decided to eat here. We wanted to order the lobster but they said they were sold out. I thought it was a sign that we should just leave but we decided to try a few dishes - snails with mango salad, razor clam with tamarind, escargot with lemongrass and grilled squid with satay. Everything we tried was good. The favorite was the mango salad. We ended up getting a second order because that's all my mom really liked. The razor clams were just ok. The tamarind sauce was good but I think I prefer grilled razor clams. For the escargot, we meant to order the stir fried version so it was our fault for not paying attention. The lemongrass broth was pretty good though. The grilled squid wasn't bad but we've had better. The sauces that went with the were ok as well.

Discovered this place back in 2023 and was very excited to come back with my picky eating parents while visiting Orlando. My mom enjoyed the meal very much and said it was probably the best thing she ate our whole trip. The hotpot is so good with a lot of flavor. Comes with a good assortment of meats, seafood and vegetables. Shared it amongst 3 adults and it was perfect. Restaurant is a nice size good for groups. Looking forward to visiting again in the future. Enjoy!

We came here again in 2026 and the food still tastes great and service was excellent!

Oc mong tay nuong mo hanh (grilled razor clams with onion)
Taylor T.

The peach iced tea with orange and lemongrass is the best, most refreshing drink on a hot day! It comes a little sweet for my taste, but nothing another cup of iced water to mix can't fix. It's almost like 2 drinks for the price of 1! The goi bo tai chanh had an amazing flavor with the herby salad and chopped, roasted peanuts. The sesame cracker was the perfect pairing for it. The com chien cua is the perfect filler dish to round out the whole meal. There's a good amount of crab and veggies in the fried rice and there are bits of crispy rice to add a crunchy texture. Loved it! The razor clams are a must-get and so interesting. True to Vietnamese flavors with the nuoc mam, peanuts, and mo hanh. So good! The only thing we didn't like were the apple snails. The meat itself was shriveled up and just did not taste good. The Thai sauce lacked a little flavor surprsingly. Overall, the food and service was great!

Bon bo hue
Claudia A.

Mama Lau gave me one of the most authentic flavors in the Orlando area. This is the perfect place to have a comforting meal. The broth on the Bon bo hue and Pho were spectacular. All the spices and herbs were present in the flavor creating the right taste. The place is small, but very cozy and organized. Servers were nice enough to explain some dishes to people in my party who were not that familiar with the dishes. Definitely a must!

Great place for Vietnamese food. I wish we had time to try the seafood. Perhaps another time. The beef pho, Bun bo hue, and crab and tomatoe noodles soup were all delicious. Service is quick and they have an extensive menu.

I love escargot and this restaurant has it. This is a Vietnamese restaurant that serve this type of food. They also has the razor clam. This restaurant serves some exotic food. Price is not cheap. We got two different escargot dishes. We have the steam escargot with lemon grass. We also got the grill escargot with sate. The lemon grass is like soup with escargot. This escargot has some sand in it. It can clean better. The grill escargot is the larger escargot. With sate sauce. Both dish is good. Value is just ok for the food. But value is just ok. May be the razor clam is better.

so long nuong mo hanh

Goi oc is yummy. One of the great dish we had. Oc mong tay was also good. First time tried that ever. Tamarind sauce made that dish one of my favorite. Oc nuong tieu was also tasty. Hot vit lon was cooked to perfect not so soft or hard. Mixed in tamarind sauce was quite an experience. One of the surprised dish was com bo luc lac. It was cooked in high heat and provide awesome taste. It reminds me mi xao don in vietnam. I would order that that anytime. We ended the evening with hotpot and it was a good choice. It has all sort of flavors mixed in. The bad (not so good). None of the drinks we ordered were any good at all. Oc huong was hard and not marinated enough. Ngeu hap xa was not so fresh at all. Oc buou nuong muoi ot was so plain. The other com dishes were ok nothing special at all. I know I missed other dishes but none of them stood out. Overall it was quite expensive and small portion. There were some great unique dishes but the rest were nothing special. If you like spicy food you will be disappointed. Prepare to ask for more chili. The service was typical vietnamese. No smile from the waitress. The female owner was abit pushy when we started ordering the first few dishes. After we started ordering more she became more happy I would come again since it has some unique dishes.

Great

Recommend by a friend for the first time and the food and service are excellent highly recommended

How is this place anything below 5 stars?? Don't let the other reviews fool you.. it's AMAZING! We stopped in at the referral of a friend who described the seafood as being absolutely to die for, and I must say that I agree! We ordered the cockles and oysters, and they were so unique and delicious. The cockles were topped with peanuts, fish sauce, green onion and egg mint, and the oysters were topped with green onions and egg mint, and both accompanied with a plate containing fish sauce, salt/pepper, lime and chilis. I loved the combination of flavors, and will never want to eat shellfish any other way. Can't wait to go back and try the razor clams and mussels next! Along with the seafood, my husband ordered the pho and I ordered the caramelized fish and pork. Now, I personally never order pho when we go out to eat because the broth is always just meh, and I prefer homemade, but I always taste his broth and this one was absolutely amazing! The amount of flavor and layers of complexity in the broth was by far the best I've tasted at a restaurant to date. I even ended up making a small bowl for myself! The caramelized fish and pork was also amazing! Not overly thick or sweet, and packed full of meat. I also want to mention that the service was really outstanding. I think our server may have been the owner, and he was just so nice and super friendly. Even when it took us forever to decide what to order (he stopped by twice to take our order and we still weren't ready), he was still smiling by the 3rd attempt and told us that we made some really good ordering choices. He checked back frequently, promptly cleared away empty dishes, brought togo boxes, and always did it with a smile and truly pleasant manner. I can't say enough great things about this place, and can't wait to come back and further explore the menu!

Vietnamese hotpot and shellfish at its finest! Mama Lua & Oc is a hidden gem in Orlando! I'm a fan of Vietnamese hotpot, and this restaurant takes it to the next level with their Vietnamese seafood hotpot. The broth was aromatic, and the menu selection was impressive. We ordered so much food and everything was amazing. Perfect for a cozy, family dining experience.

Lior G.

This place was recommend by a Vietnamese friend and it did not disappoint. We had a family style (shared) meal been 4 of us. 3 different snail dishes in different styles: * sweet coconut broth * lemongrass spicy broth * Salad One oyster dish, one clam, and one cockle... Wide variety of flavors and would like to go again. Maybe next time at least one rice or noodles dish to get a little more full

Saigon Noodle & Grill is a great contemporary Vietnamese spot in the heart of the Milk District…read more The staff was super friendly and helpful--our server gave amazing recommendations, and we ended up trying a little bit of everything. We started with the crispy chicken dumplings--crispy on the outside with a juicy, tender chicken filling. Perfect way to kick things off. We continued with three items: Beef Stew (Bún Bò Kho), Orange Chicken, and Sautéed Cubed Beef "Shaking Beef" (Cơm Bò Lúc Lắc). The Beef Stew (Bún Bò Kho) was heaven on a dish. The beef stew was easily the standout--rich, flavorful, and the beef was so tender it practically melted in your mouth. The vermicelli noodles were just as impressive. Just reminiscing about it makes my mouth water. The "Shaking Beef" was served over white rice (highly recommend), and every bite was better than the last. The garlic butter sauce really takes it over the top. Don't be fooled by the Orange Chicken--Boneless chicken, fried perfectly and coated in their authentic sweet orange sauce. The best Orange Chicken in town, hands down. No chance of leftovers here--you won't want to put your fork down.

Ok...so how can I put this. It really straddles the "Dive" line if you know it from the show…read more Ambiance is very casual. When we walked in on a rainy Thursday night it was dead. Then within the next 30 mins it filled up to about 70%. Food was really good. We opted for pho. A Pho Ga and Beef Pho with rare beef and meatballs. When I am back in the area I'll try again. One negative is the "one waiter" who seems like he's been there too long. If he knows you......if not.... Enjoy...

From the moment I walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and incredible aromas set the stage for a fantastic dining experience. I ordered a traditional beef pho with added oxtails, and it exceeded all expectations. The broth was rich, deeply flavorful, and clearly simmered with care for hours. Every spoonful delivered a perfect balance of savory spices and comforting warmth. The beef was tender ano plentiful, while the fresh herbs, bean sprouts, lime, and jalapeños allowed me to customize each bite exactly to my taste. I also added tendon which was so delicious and melted in your mouth! The portion size was generous, making it an excellent value, and everything tasted exceptionally fresh. I also tried a Vietnamese iced coffee, which provided the perfect sweet and bold complement to the meal. What truly stood out was the combination of authentic flavors, attentive service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you're a longtime pho enthusiast or trying Vietnamese cuisine for the first time, this restaurant is well worth a visit. If you're in the Orlando area and looking for a comforting, flavorful meal, I highly recommend stopping by-you won't leave hungry, and you'll likely be planning your next visit before you even finish your bowl.

And we are so glad that we did. We started off with the appetizer that brought crab Rangoon, spring rolls, and dumplings. So good and even better with all the sauces to pair them with. Then we had the C10 platter which is this steak platter with vegetables and rice and we also had the Pad Thai. The dishes were so flavorful and the portions are very generous. I honestly will need to come back because they have so many options, including hot pot. Service was so friendly, you literally feel right at home. I cannot wait to be back and try the rest of the menu. Oh and don't forget to order the fried bananas for dessert!

Z Asian - Vietnamese Kitchen is such a pleasant surprise to my foodie experience and chronicles…read morethroughout Orlando and surrounding areas . On the hunt to try out cuisines I don't venture in often, this local gem popped right on up. Upon entry, it was very date-night coded. With various Vietnamese and cultural decor moments and the mood lighting, it was a nice little oasis / getaway from the usual. They had a nice playlist going and there was more than enough seating. Service was phenomenal. Now, at the time of my visit, it wasn't a busy night. It was only a handful of people there. So, our waitress was able to be super attentive and was so kind to our table. Our orders came out fresh, hot and quickly! I ordered one of their pho options, and it was super flavorful. It was also quite a bit of food, so, I did have leftovers to take home and finish the following day. It held up well and it was just as good the next day as it was the night I got it. Pricing is AWESOME! They are a Michelin Bib Gourmant restaurant - which means, it is "a prestigious award recognizing restaurant that serves exceptional, high-quality food at great value." The quality of the food alongside the pricing, just makes it worthwhile. They definitely deserve the hype and rave!! By far, one of my favorite "newer" cuisine experiences I've had in quite some time.

I think any time you go to a restaurant that serves a type of ethnic cuisine, they focuses on the main or big dishes. For example, Vietnamese restaurants will always feature pho somehow and Cuban restaurants will always feature the Cuban sandwich in some capacity. However, street food or dishes that are small and meant for grab and go and sharing and to be affordable is not often featured at big sit down restaurants. The other thing is when street food is featured on a fancy sit down menu, the small plates and street food always cost more than it should in my opinion. Z Asian really surprised me in that I didn't think the prices were to unfair and it still felt elevated. They are a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant. We went here for a date night after watching Obsession. By the way, the movie is one of the best horror movies of this year in my opinion and I think a lot of people's opinion. We parked in the back lot as they don't really have a whole lot of street parking. That was confusing entering the restaurant since we entered from the back and it wasn't clear if the restaurant was open or if we walked in through the wrong door. We got seated fast and the waitress was really nice and engaging. We ordered banh khot, which is basically a mini banh xeo. Banh khot is an eggy crepe mixture that is panfried into a circle and a small amount of seafood is placed into the middle of it. It's small and finger food sized and served with pickled veggies and fresh lettuce and fish sauce to drizzle or dip. My rating is a 9.5/10. It was crispy and full of flavor. We also tried the mango tofu salad. It's similar to a ceviche. This was a 9/10. It has a little heat to it but very good and not too wet. We then ordered grilled mussels with is what it sounds like. It's mussels halves grilled with fish sauce and crushed peanuts sprinkled on top. I rate this a 8/10. I never see this in restaurants. On a good day, I can crush like 20 of these and call it girl dinner. We got the grilled corn as well. This is corn kernels grilled in butter and garlic topped with Sriracha. I rate this a 6.5/10. I think it's a good street dished but it underwhelmed me because it's just the corn and there wasn't a vehicle to deliver it to my mouth. The last item we tried was the grilled chicken rice noodles. This was a flavorful dish of veggies and chicken and rice noodles that are cooked in a pan. The rating is a 8.5/10. My overall rating is 9/10. They bill was on the higher end but I felt like it was worth the food we were eating the service and ambiance.
